  We really enjoyed our stay at no 39 appreciating the excellent facilities in the apartment.

  The many personal touches left by the owners made our stay more enjoyable. Being fortunate with some lovely weather we were able to spend quality time on the balcony watching the many boats , ships, naval ships and even a submarine slip past before our very eyes. The apartment is very well equipped with every kitchen utensil you could need. We even used the washer dryer before coming home. The 2 main bedrooms were of a decent size with the bed being very comfortable. The showers work very well, which sometimes can be a problem with electric showers. We were surprised that there was only 1 toilet roll per toilet with no 'spares' available though. As the double beds are pushed against a wall it does make getting out of bed for one person slightly more difficult for those early morning visits to the toilet!. As a result we found that the bottom base wooden corner of the bed always caught you out leaving a couple of bruises on your legs. Both persons in each bedroom experienced the same problem. If these corners could be rounded off (it would be quite easy to do) it would prevent the leg bruises, and a few less expletives !!.I We did note in previous reviews that there was no dining table in the apartment with only the bar stools available next to the kitchen work top for use during meal times. With 4 persons staying it is not possible (without moving the microwave) to sit 4 persons here comfortably during meal times. The apartment is quite large and in our view a small fold down table would be much better and more suitable during meal times. In previous reviews it mentions flickering ceiling lights in the bedrooms, they are still there and makes using the main lights uncomfortable to use. Having said all that the apartment is furnished to a high standard and a very nice apartment with generally plenty of room for 4 persons. The unparalleled views across "the Sound" together with the unique setting in the historic Napoleonic fort, offer a stellar rating and one you would certainly wish to return for. Overall we really loved our stay in the apartment and the above few, maybe neg observations, do not detract from what we felt was a very enjoyable stay. We would certainly look to return in the future. Thank you Andrew & Ann

  Stunning view, could sit and watch the ships, ferries,boats and yachts going past all day.

  Flat is in excellent condition with stylish modern decor (grey, white, black and silver). Very well equipped kitchen and excellent ensuite shower/basin/toilet as well as second bathroom/toilet. Comfortable beds,although fitted sheet did not seem big enough for the depth of mattress. We were disappointed with the eating and the seating arrangements. There were four of us (adults) in the flat, which could accommodate 6 people. There were no table and chairs for eating meals. One side of the marble kitchen worktop was effectively a breakfast bar facing the kitchen(with our backs to the view) with four high chairs. There was insufficient room for our knees to sit straight. Adequate for breakfast at most. We brought the 2 small wrought iron tables and 4 chairs in from the balcony when we ate in the flat, or ate in the studio flat rented for other members of the family which had a table and chairs for 6. There was no chair to sit on when using the hairdryer in our bedroom so knelt and sat on the floor. The seating arrangements were not particularly sociable or comfortable. 3 people could sit and watch the main TV etc screen (there were also 4 smaller screens around the flat) on a sofa. There were 2 modern chaise longue on each side of the balcony doors looking out to sea.

  Excellent position overlooking the sea.

  Lovely views. Apartment very comfortable and nice little balcony to sit and enjoy the views. Underground parking with reserved parking space for one car. Lift up to the apartment and easy access from lift to front door very close. Trolleys available to use for luggage so no heavy carrying. Apartment was good nice decor but a bit shabby in places. Damp is in the apartment as it’s and old historic fort and it’s in the building so needs rectifying to keep on top of it.The shower room has black in the tile grout and the over head storage rails in the shower is rusting away also it’s much too high for anybody to use so can’t see the point of it being there.? There is black around some of the skirting areas, windowsills and in the kitchen area some of the doors swell and the fridge door is the worst it swells and doesn’t close easily. Apart from this we did enjoy our week here and would consider staying again but the owners need to give it some care as it will only get worse which is a shame for such a beautiful place. If you love the sea and ship watching etc take some good binoculars with you especially if the navy are out doing their exercises.

  The property is gorgeous.

  We know Picklecombe well and never disappointed. This apartment was perfect for taking away 97 year old Mother for a week in glorious, sunshine though it did have two small steps which I'd not noticed in description. Only grumble is that, despite sleeping six, there is no dining table - just a breakfast bar for four people, where you sit facing the kitchen wall, with your back to the sea! It's crying out for a folding dining table and chairs. For that reason it wouldn't work for any occasion where you want a family meal and certainly not for christmas. We bought our own folding tables as there's only one small outdoor table to use for games, snacks etc. Only other problem was ensuite lacked soap/shampoo shelf. Otherwise it was all gorgeous and would definitely go again. The housekeeper was fantastically helpful and came out on a Sunday to sort out the dodgy led lights. Much appreciated.

  Disappointed, if it wasn't for the view probably would have come home.

  Not particularly clean, shower heads and shower screen seal very grubby, worksurface in kitchen cursory wipe only, wardrobe drawers dirty so did not use, balcony glass filthy, games on table near fire were filthy. 2 clocks in the bedroom not working, several lightbulbs not working and lots flickering, wardrobe doors do not shut, smoke alarm in bedroom in pieces, shelves in bathrooms not fixed to wall properly, décor very tired paint peeling in places, patio doors only one opened, some of the crockery was chipped, bedding well used could do with replacing, bath towels tiny. Binoculars, welcome pack and quick guide to using oven and hob would be useful for future guests. Post it notes very ,unprofessional. On a positive note lovely to sit on the balcony watching the sea and boats, although a little table to put drinks on would be useful.
